At receive situations where the transmitters are on top of a mountain , and the receiving antenna is close to the mountain , and the reception is blocked by that same mountain , repeter/translators are often put a distance away so that antennas can receive the main transmitters via~ the repeater/translator. Highly Directional antennas are the best to use in high multipath situations.

Well said.
